The PuriCare wearable air purifier features two H13 HEPA filters, similar to the filters used in the company’s home air purifier products. The high-performance replaceable filters enable PuriCare wearable to supply fresh, clean air.

The LG PuriCare comes equipped with dual fans and respiratory sensors. The sensors are capable of detecting the cycle and volume of the wearer’s breath to adjust the speed of the fans accordingly. The fans are efficient enough to automatically increase the speed while air intake and slow down while exhaling.

The company claims that it’s capable of delivering a battery life of eight hours with low mode and two hours with the high mode in a single full charge.

The LG PuriCare comes with a charging case that is also equipped with UV-LED lights that kills harmful germs. The case is also skilled to send notifications to the LG ThinQ mobile app (Android/iOS) when the filters need to be replaced. Meanwhile, there is still no word on the pricing of this device, we can expect some more information at IFA 2020.
